Ai....

Otsuka. 

Did a composition portrait of Ai Otsuka for my composition analysis class. 

It was a freaking long time ago, if i am not mistaken, it should be last August. Suppose to upload it but i got busy with assignments and forgot about it. 

Well, here it is. It is actually the Final project. The other one I did was of Pandora Hearts the anime. Love no? I shall post it here conveniently. hah! - my lazyness

drawn on A2 layout pad [F-8B pencil, putty eraser]

up-close [her hair and lace thingy on her hand took the most time]

of Pandora Hearts. I was bliss when the lecturer said we could do animations instead of movies. Urgh, doing movies will take more time. Animation is WAY easier. :D

I really lurve the after effect on Gilbert's cloak. Spent the most time on it. Glad it paid off. Oh and white Alice's gown too. :) 

p/s: should i be labeling this under 2011 artworks or 2012 artworks? hmm~

lotsa love, L.

Happy Bunny Year #2

Hey all, back to spam my 2nd CNY art piece. *woot*

If you've read my previous post, you will know that i wasnt quite satisfied with that CNY work at all. T__T

Thus, finally finished drawing and colouring this during the festive days. hehe~

For those who do not know, she's Alice aka Black Rabbit from the Pandora Hearts series.

Who else better to draw than Black Rabbit herself? *winks*

And FYI, i've changed a bit of my colouring style. Am tired of my old one, so am experimenting some new styles. 

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves, i know i am. 8D

Last but not least, here is the step-by-step to the piece. 

lotsa love, L.

HeartBeat

hehe... a random drawing. Im bored and im off for the week cos its TOA exploration week. *woot*
ok, not really... i still have replacement class on Wednesday. orz
and holiday means MOAR HOME ASSIGNMENTS!! OH-EM-GEE~~ ==lll
I cant help but to do my own work for a while, hehe~


And uh... the step-by-step which i have not post for quite some time now.

Start off with the lineart.... as usual

Coloured the skin, hair, etc~

Finished the colours...

Finally, with added textures etc~


I did 2 versions of the pic. But i prefer the 2nd version [the one i posted at top of post] better. ^^

Version1
eeto... i drew this pic cos it reflects on how my heart beats so much faster when i see HIM~ T/////T
ok, nuff said. kthxbai~ ♥

Be My Valentine

Its Valentine's Day this weekend [CNY as well], so after finishing my CNY work, i quickly started on this one.
I really didnt plan on doing a Valentine's one cos um, whats the point to it all? ROFL~ But seeing im free and bored and felt like drawing something so i drew anyway.
Yet again posting a step-by-step. Was too bored. XD



The usual, start of rough sketch. Blah blah... getting ideas, inspirations, make a cup of coffee, some snacks, comfortable workspace and BAM... there u go! haha
A cute lil shota Lolita for u. First attempt on drawing Lolita... i love it. ^^



Then, outlined the pic with a dark grey solid brush. 2 diff sizes, think one for the outer line and thin one for the inner line.



zzzzz.... base colours. OMG, she's so cute.[self-praise] *facepalms*



Yep, i have the shading step this time. Man, i think i've done 3 shades for this girl. 
So many... i guess i really wanna make her look good. ^^
Shading her was utter fun... i dunno why. Cos she's cute? LoL



Finally, the bg, bit of cropping, edits here and there... and u'll have this.
I only took a whole day to finish this. So happy... 
Here's the finished product:




Posted 2 versions... diff colours. Im scared that the ori one looks kinda dull so i edit the colour for the 2nd one.
Well, Happy Valentine's Day. ^3^

Utauloid_Ruko

Im a hardcore/ diehard Vocaloid fan aka a Vocatard. If u hate them, i suggest u leave and dont read this post.
Love me, hate me... whatever. 



Another Vocaloid fanart, but Ruko Yokune is not an authentic Vocaloid, she is a Utauloid. Not sure what it is? Go Google it. XD
I like Ruko cos of her spunky style and attitude, plus i love her hair too.
Was feeling bored so i decided to do a step-by-step kinda thing, just to show u how i colour my work.
But this is not my usual colouring style either. I usually colour a particular part and shade that part right after that. 
In this process, i coloured all base first then only shaded it as to show easier step-by-step.



Started out with rough sketch as any normal artist would do. Messy eh? DX
Err... the diff colours of sketch lines is so that i can differentiate which line belongs to which part. Its very confusing, i know. Only i will know what is what. haha~



Then, i cleaned up the lines and did the outline. I hate this part the most cos im an amateur at using a tablet, so i can barely draw straight lines.
Added a background colour as to see if there are any left outs from any colouring i've done. Especially for light/pastel colours eg white, peach etc~



I like to start out with the skin. I prefer it this way. Then, with the hair, clothes and lastly, the eyes.
Some artists love colouring the eyes 1st but i dont. I colour the rest of the body so that i can determine which eye colour suits best for my chara.
Pic at the side for colour/clothes reference.



This is where the base colour are done. This part is mostly boring and tedious cos its just colouring a pic with no challenge.


Challenge arises when shading part comes. I did not PrtSc my shadings cos i was too lazy to do it.XD
So, after 1and a half days of hardwork, it looks something like this. Added the bg and the name.
Time was not on my side so i did not bother experimenting with the bg. T____T

Miku Miku

Yay... finally a Vocaloid fanart. 

Me ♥♥♥ the Vocaloids, a singer synthesizer application developed by Yamaha Corp. that enables user to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody.
So, here i drew the famous Vocaloid, the world's virtual diva... Hatsune Miku - The first sound of the future!!
Yes, im a HARDCORE VOCALOID FAN! [love me, hate me, whatever]. I've loved them ever since 2006. (>w<)


I decided to post a step-by-step kinda thingy. 



|this here are the base colours|



|and with final touches, shades etc|


Her hair practically killed me. Its so long... but i love long hairs. ^^
She looks weird, sorry. I failed at doing bg, i need to practice more.
Next up im gonna draw Vocaloid Kaito... moi handsome Vocaloid. *sparkles*
